AdBlue In Diesel

All over Lancashire we have identified a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of people not knowing the right way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it immediately. And definitely take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking area. If perhaps you did start the car you may likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VA receipt.
3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
